#2 it has more GPU power, an optical drive and everything else is the same except for the case which both are good so that is a negligible detail. #2 if it fits into your budget.

Edit: Just noticed the difference in motherboard, I still would say #2, but you might be able to find a higher quality motherboard for around the same price.

Can you name a few motherboards that might be a bit better then, And would it make a huge difference or just a minor one?
